Luiz Carlos da Vila

A documentary about the celebration of the National Samba Day with the aim of preserving the memory of part of the history of samba, which was being forgotten by the press and the Brazilian people.

A documentary on the career of Beth Carvalho, the Brazilian singer who became a well known samba legend from the 1970s onwards, edited together from hundreds of hours of footage and audio files kept (and partially recorded) by Carvalho herself during her lifetime.

Stories of love and longing based on the testimonies of five widows of great strongholds of Rio samba who, in an invisible work, became guardians of a fundamental part of Brazilian musical history.
